- Debris left in gutters or valleys

- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it normally takes about one to two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Rockford frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.

Advice
New roof snagging in Rockford
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’re worried about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and debris left in gutters or valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Rockford may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

What else we do in Rockford
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
We confirm the price for your roof before you book, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Rockford homes and their roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Whatever the street in Rockford, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
Rockford is in Hampshire. We carry out new roof snagging for homes and businesses in Rockford and the surrounding area. Across Hampshire, we cover Rockford and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Do you need new roof snagging in Rockford?
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in at the first heavy rain.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Poorly finished verges
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
Take an older house close to Church of St Martins: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
FAQs for Rockford
Is my home in Rockford listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Rockford?
Yes, Rockford is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Useful tips for Rockford property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Check before your warranty period ends
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
Why get it checked now?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
